A propos de cet article

First printing. Signed and inscribed on the half title page by the author - a gift inscription to Charles D. Parsons, the late professor of Philosophy of Mathematics and Kant scholar from Harvard University, who was a friend of Feferman. The book is signed and dated by Parsons on the ffep. Parsons made scant markings throughout the text in pen - mostly just lines in the margins next to specific points in the text, but some short written notes as well. The DJ and book are in VG condition. DJ has some surface scratching, bumping at top/bottom of spine and corners; DJ has a 0.5 in rip on back-top corner, which is creasing back a bit; DJ has small chips and rips at corners; DJ flap corners creased back. Hardcover boards have some minor bumping on bottom edges, and light cornerwear. Hinges and binding tight. Other than Parsons' markings, text is bright and clean and clear.

Synopsis

Solomon Feferman is one of the leading figures in the philosophy of mathematics. This volume brings together a selection of his most important recent writings, covering the relation between logic and mathematics, proof theory, objectivity and intentionality in mathematics, and key issues in the work of Gödel, Hilbert, and Turing. A number of the papers appeared originally in obscure places and are not well-known, and others are published here for the first time. All of the material has been revised and annotated to bring it up to date.
